I guess I just like the idea of Kassian getting out there with some players who can dominate possession. Let him soften up the defense, muck around in the corners and in front of Quick and create some space for those guys.

But perhaps putting Kassian and Hank with Burrows or Hansen would be a better way to go.

Besides, putting Raymond and Malhotra together might bring RD some balance in his feelings about the fourth line.

I think it's because the fact that the ever so useless Malhotra gets a guaranteed walk-on on into AV's line-up card that makes me a miserable poster. The guy is completely useless.

He's not a detriment to the team and with Dank out, that's what is most important at this point of time.

Manny is defensively responsible and will occasionally have a good shift on the O. He wins faceoffs like a champ and winning faceoffs = puck possession time. You can't score if you don't have the puck.

What makes you a miserable/bad/troll poster is your inability to evolve beyond who you are right now. For example, what you just said about Manny is pretty ignorant. I provided you with some statements on why Manny isn't useless. Now, take those facts, roll them around in your brain, do some research, and come back with an answer.

Or...you could do what you usually do which is say something like, I've always felt this way, it's my god given right to state my opinion and my opinion is the truth. Which is ignorance at its finest. I see these types of folks all the time on the tee vee living in trailer parks in butt-fuck-nowhere, America.

Learn and evolve. There are some incredibly intelligent posters on this board. Learn from them instead of donkey braying the same crap over and over and over again.

However, if you still feel like spewing the same ignorant shit over and over again, do it on CDC because as shown by donnie's post, it's getting pretty tiresome here.

"Here you go Zack, this is your job on the PP" Make life miserable for Quick, but all within the lines of good sportsmanship

Would it be sportsmanlike to load Kassian up with beans and cabbage before the game too?

Not sure if it would be effective but holy shit (pun intended) would it be funny!

You feel better now Math? Man, that looked like it took effort. Now back to Manny regarding puck possession. WTF does it matter about puck possession when we don't have enough skill guys who can keep the puck when we get it. IMO its what u do with the puck when u get it. He can win face offs til the cows come home, eventual we will gain puck possession outside of face offs, the big concern is the inability to keep and trust me Manny may win face offs but he can fuck all offensively with it, I had a great belly laugh with your comment regarding Mannys Offense.

The most concerning stat from game was our shots, or lack there of

I like what those guys bring to the table when they just focus on playing the game hard, ie Kes against the Preds last year in the playoffs. I hate the shit with the refs, the whining, the yapping, penalty drawing crap, the cheap, little dirty, "who me?" "but I'm innocent" shit they pull. Get one with it, it's no wonder why we are so hated.

Right, but that's not the point Dude.

It's the boy who cried wolf syndrome.

Once it goes on to long people stop listening. It's both self aggrandizing and boring.

The post above is a far more reasoned way to make your point and is appreciated thusly.

So yes, to this point you are correct and I agree, that whiny, snivelly shit needs to stop.

From everyone yes....

Usually I write these things then go away for a while before posting them and then after cooling off, delete them before posting but this time it still pisses me off even after taking time for calm reflection...

All this talk about the Canucks players being whiners and divers from those fucking eastern bastards. Thats just water off a duck as far as I am concerned, but when our own fans buy into it, that makes me wonder what koolaid won't people swallow? ....What the fuck ever happened to "If you aint cheating you aint trying hard enough?" Give me 20 guys willing to do what it takes this side of murder or selling your grandmother and I''ll show you a championship team and don't even think about throwing dinosaur or unsportsmanlike accusations around, the 2011/2012 Bruins are the class of the league when it comes to dives, whining, revisionist lying and Plausible deniability from coaches and managers. It works for them and its worked for every team as far back as I can remember (well at least since the European invasion ) so why is it such a crime when the Canucks do it?

Personally I'm happy with Kesler, Burrows, and lapierre and anyone else on the team being assholes, in fact the bigger the better.
